Letter to the editor: Portland leash law will lead to less distancing
The new temporary Portland leash law (“Dog leash law temporarily extended to all public places,” April 15, Page B1) will have drastic unintended consequences. The point of the measure is to enable social distancing. However, by limiting off-leash dogs to the two dog parks, it guarantees that there will be crowding at those locations. In […]

Letter to the editor: Collins should be seeking COVID supplies, not votes
Sen. Susan Collins is all over television with these poignant, albeit political, ads disguised as public service announcements. And, despite her claim on these ads that she has an “independent voice,” her voting nearly 67 percent of the time with President Trump’s position (according to political news website FiveThirtyEight) says otherwise. With such a Trumpian […]

Letter to the editor: Columnist recognizes Navy captain’s courage
I was impressed with Sam Zager’s commentary (April 11). As a physician, Naval Academy graduate and veteran, he has the credentials to get us to appreciate what Navy Capt. Brett Crozier did.

Letter to the editor: White House farm decisions overlook need for fresh food, fair pay

Letter to the editor: Criticism of administration’s COVID response lacks context
In a recent editorial (“Our View: We need to hear the president’s plan for reopening the economy,” April 10), the Editorial Board asserted that President Trump was slow in responding to the coronavirus pandemic. To which I respond: In comparison to what? This pandemic is without precedent in our nation’s history. There has been nothing […]

Letter to the editor: Gov. Mills’ leadership appreciated during crisis
I write to give a big thank you to Gov. Mills and her team for her leadership during this chaotic, dangerous and stressful time. Every day in this pandemic, I am grateful for the steady and thoughtful leadership she has provided to Maine. This crisis has been unrelenting in the last month. There is no […]
